Did you know that this affordable veggie is easy to prepare. It's also full of flavor, as well as high in fiber, minerals, and vitamins - including vitamin C. All the more reason to enjoy Fiesta Cabbage!

What You'll Need

1 pound kielbasa, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

1 red onion, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 cabbage (about 2-1/2 pounds), chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 (14-1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 teaspoon salt

1/2
teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add kielbasa, and saute until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Set aside.

Saute onion and bell pepper in hot drippings in skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes. Stir in cabbage; cover and cook 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

I have also been doing this for a long time, my variation is to use sliced apples, ( good cooking ones) onions, cabbage and kielbasa. Use an electric skillet or large skillet and cook kielbasa first, remove, then cook cabbage, onion and apples together until tender and add kielbasa to warm through again. You can add or subtract any ingredients you prefer. Great on a cold winter or fall night.

I made this for my hubby for years - but w/o the tomatoes - had no recipe. He worked construction till the sun came down and this was a meal I could prepare in my electric skillet, feed Son - yet keep the rest for Dad warm till he came home tired and hungry. It was one of his favs, & he said he always knew when it was "on", cuz he could smell it in the driveway!
